Stillman's play on the pocket deuces!

the guy limped in EP then called a raise. the flop came AQx. he's got a pocket pair tehre such a huge portion of the time. he has to think that most Ax hands are coming in with a raise, or if not, are coming over the top once it gets back to him. pocket pairs probably make up 70 or 80% of the guy's range, and at that stage picking up pots is huge. it's a gamble just like any other situation. he pushed against kessler's range and got unlucky.

Do you really think his thought process was that sophisticated?

Horrible play post-flop. The board very likely hit Kessler. There's a difference between aggression and stupidity. He should stick to bowling.
